Overreacting? Simon was completely manipulating his friends for selfish reasons, which could've potentially drastically affected the outcome of their lives. Think I'm exaggerating? I introduced two of my friends in high school back in 2001, they've been together ever since, and have been happily married for 10+ years now with 2 kids. Simon dissuading Nick to ask out Abby and trying to force Abby and Martin, and Nick and Leah together could've potentially prevented such a relationship. I don't know how well you like to treat/respect your friends, but to me, that type of manipulation of people who trust you and consider you one of their best friends is extremely effed up. In fact, in the middle of the movie, I turned to my friend and said, "This is messed up what he's doing. He's like an evil villain."Maybe calling him an "evil villain" is a bit of an exaggeration, but his friends' responses certainly weren't overreactions in my honest opinion.

You can't be upset over "what could have happened" You need to ultimately realize why Simon did what he did. Sure in this movie world everyone supported him. And times are changing so maybe thats more of a thing. Some people get completely rejected from their families and get very little support. His friends ended up getting together so its not like he ruinned anything for them. Yes they did have a right to be mad but when you're watching the movie you're empathizing with Simon the most. So you're thinking jeez give him a break, I know what Jeremy means.

A story about a guy deciding he wants to have sex with other guys is... ADORABLE. Is it adorable that I want to screw girls? Didn't think so. Why are people celebrated for choosing to have sex with someone? Oh... I KNOW... Because it seems rebellious... WRONG.. EVIL!!! and against society, nature, and therefore... it must be ... RIGHT, in the twisted minds of people today. Good is evil and evil is good. Christians are repulsive bigoted nazi's, while a degenerate who wants to commit what the majority of human kind since the beginning has called a detestable or even abominable act is.. as this guy said... ADORABLE, just in the same way thugs, thieves, murderers, illegal immigrants, etc. are all so awesome, as are every CULTURE, and religion, besides Christianity. Have you ever wondered why every religion and cult under the sun is CELEBRATED under the umbrella of Culture, and DIVERSITY, yet Christianity is hated and loathed, as if somehow, some people don't have a right to .. .THEIR culture? Odd isn't it. It is because in the end, it is a spiritual war, with atheists, evil doers, idolaters, marxist, socialists, humanists on one side, and Christians and Jews on the other side.Who gets mocked and ridiculed in movies for their religion? Hindu's, Musllims, etc.? Nope.. Christians. Who do people have to supposedly apologize for being? WHITE? Who has pushed Christianity in the world, and created a nation based on Biblical laws? White people? Who do people hate? White people. Why do people hate the police? Because it was white men that made those laws, under a government guided by Christianity. All of this is pretty simple, and if you aren't the cookie cutter liberal, then you are WRONG!!! End of debate. Its just time for name calling. If you are a White Christian, especially male, you don't deserve a say, or a chance to speak your mind. You should be shouted down, ridiculed, silenced, and maybe even pummeled. That is where we are in the world, and especially in this Country, where voting for someone will get you harassed or beat up, but being gay will make you famous. How far we have fallen.

I finally got around to watching this movie and I absolutely loved it. There were definitely some scenes where I teared up because they were emotional and so good. Nick Robinson did an awesome job as Simon. I would definitely watch this movie again. Even the music was really good and the ending. Oh the only ending was really cute. If I were asked to give this movie a rating, I would give it an A+.

I was turned off from this movie by one line of marketing. I was at a movie theatre, one of Love Simon's posters said, "At the concession stand, you have to form a line, but it doesn't have to be straight." I knew right there I would not be seeing Love Simon

This movie was fucking 4 hours long. I can't believe you recommended this self congratulatory teen drama as something compelling, man! You said it was for everyone. You lied to me. That's what hurts the most, man....Top 10 anime betrayals

For me, this was an extremely dangerous movie in that it was too lovie/dovie in your face gay friendly sending the message to young people that its ok to be gay without even remotely touching on the homophobic aspect of it. There are young males out there who may think they`re gay and this movie might push them to come out and then be subjected to grotesque vulgar homophobia where they`d end up becoming depressed because of it and feel suicidal because of the hellish existence homophobes have made their lives and then the realization that they`re not gay but misdiagnosed as gay because of an inadequate sex education but the damage is now done and they had to live with a gay label forever. This movie is extremely reckless and careless in not at least touching on the homophobe aspect of being gay which homophobia is a harsh reality and whether I or anyone else doesn`t like it, it does exist.

Are you serious? Gay people are applauded and celebrated for coming out. Straight people, with actual families, that haven't divorced fifteen times are the ones who are under attack now. As for me, I am completely against the gay lifestyle, but I will not call you names if you are, or harass you. Everyone has a free will, and has the right to choose what they do in life..It does NOT mean I have to agree with it, and favor it, or accept it. Today though, if people don't ACCEPT everything everyone else thinks is RIGHT, then they are haters.. To those cry babies, I say get a life, and grow up!

Did you not read the part of the comment where I say ...... homophobia is a harsh reality and whether I or anyone else doesn`t like it, it does exist. ...? So please explain to me why I`m part of the problem?

I've watched this movie 8 times now with different groups of friends and i still love it its just omg the feels and jsut seeing the huge happy smiles on everyone's faces lgbt or not after it ends its a wonderful feeling

Omg. I love this movie. there’s comedy. Drama. Romance and a tiny bit of mystery. It’s hella adorable from beginning to end. The young actors were so goood. Quite “unknown” but I see them becoming the next big names in Hollywood :)

The movie didn't have to redeem Martin Addelson because in the book Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda, Martin keeps apologizing but Simons final comment is that he doesn't really know if he'll ever forgive Martin. Simon's reasoning is very clearly stated when Simon is being followed by a Martin as Simon heads to his car after his first day of having to endure the entire school's reaction to what Martin callously wrote on the school sponsored Tumblr site. Near the very end of the book Martin writes a huge apology saying that he envies Simon for having so many friens. Martin doesn't realized that is over the top ego prevents him from establishing any real friendships at all.

To be fair, I don't really think they were overreacting. I mean, he was kind of manipulating them because he was scared. Ok the initial anger is understandable. Eventually I'd probably forgive that friend.Oh yeah, drama teacher was fantastic.

I don't understand conservatives you hate sjws censoring things yet you want to censor anything with gays in it either all of is ok or non of it is also republicans used to censor gays with the motion picture production code that didn't stop gays from existing these movies aren't propaganda

Saw this movie in my hometown which is 90% Mormon, surprised a Tuesday late showing was very full.... Then was even more pleasantly surprised by the audience reaction... In Idaho... with about 100 Mormons. A movie that can elicit sniffles, laughs, and finally awwws at the kiss in the last scene is obviously doing something right. Great movie.

I love how the movie (LIKE HOW YOU SAID) isn't just about GAYNESS! It shows that gay characters can be whole lot more than just 'gay', I also preach the movie's interpretation of the different kinds of gays (Masculine, Feminine/Steryotypical). This was an overall amazing film, go watch it!

it's not perverted though... this dude certainly knows nothing. He's trolling. I really shouldn't feed into his satisfaction, but imma reply anyway. He says some dumb shit, I'll reply with something dumb. It just ain't as dumb as this
